Description

Manage Your Story Design Project gives you an innovative way to control the development of a work of fiction. It uses mind maps to provide a graphical layout that allows a simple visual representation of complex ideas. It provides an easy method to monitor story development usinga proven story design process.

This book represents a unique approach to fiction writing. It encapsulates the entire stiry design process into a series of annotated mind-maps. Each major element of the story design process has a mind-map. Each bubble in the mind-map has a note attached to it. The note may be a sentence, a paragraph or several paragraphs. The purpose of the book isn't to teach story design, rather, I picture it as an aid when you are creating a work of fiction. Print out a copy (it isn't that big) and keep it open when your working on design element such as character building or designing a scene. When used this way, I think it will be an invaluable resource.

The Story Behind This Book

Self-publishing a book is a complicated process. So is marketing the book. I have experience in these fields and lecture on it in libraries and adult schools. Since I love to see information presented in graphical forms, it seemed natural to document the processes through a series of flow charts. That was this small book has: flow charts with notes. The flow charts essentially are graphical to-do lists with time frames in which each of the tasks should be addressed.
